IPAs are generally larger areas of land with high biodiversity and cultural heritage conservation values and therefore have a greater capacity to be able to withstand climate change impacts and allow for natural adaptation processes. (humanrights.gov.au)
Land use, habitat fragmentation and intense human pressures will further limit natural adaptation responses, and fire - regime shifts may threaten specific species and plant functional types. (ipcc.ch)
In places with low elevation and isolated mountains, some plants will become locally extinct because the elevation range would not permit natural adaptation to temperature increase (FAO, 2002). (ipcc.ch)
